1
Q

explain the trend in atomic radius from li to f

A
  • atomic radius decreases
  • increase in proton number
  • electrons experience same shielding as same number of shells
  • increase in nuclear attraction

Q

Al MP= 660
Si MP=1410
P MP= 44
explain trend in terms of bonding and structure

A
  • silicon has giant covalent structure
  • aluminium has giant structure and metallic bonds
  • phosphorus has simple covalent molecules with induced dipole forces between molecules
  • metallic and covalent bonds are stronger than induced dipole forces

Q

why do catalysts reduce energy demand

A

-allows reactions to take place at lower temperatures

17
Q

fermentation equation and conditions

A

C6H12O6–> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

anaerobic
37 degrees
yeast

18
Q

how do NO and CO react in catalytic converter

A

2NO+2CO—>2CO2+N2

19
Q

how does position of equilibrium counteract higher temperature

A

as temperature increases position of equilibrium changes to minimise effect of temperature by absorbing energy

20
Q

how is margarine made out of hydrogen

A

unsaturated vegetable oils and nickel catalyst

21
Q

advantage disadvantage of biodiesel

A

biodiesel renewable
decrease need for fossil fuels
biodiesel more carbon neutral
but forests need to be cut down for land

22
Q

does BaO or MgO have higher pH when added to water

23
Q

ionic compound conductivity solid

A

does not conduct because ions are fixed in lattice and cannot move

24
Q

solid is heated and the gas produced is collected in a gas syringe, how to get accurate result

A
  • heat until syringe stops moving

- wait until gas has cooled before measuring volume

25
apparatus to separate two liquids eg hexane and sodium chlorate
separating funnel
26
why does free radical substitution produce many products
- substitution at different positions along chain | - more than one termination step
27
how does catalyst increase rate of reaction
- lower activation energy | - greater proportion of molecules exceed activation energy
28
strontium reaction with water
Sr + 2H2O —> Sr(OH)2 + H2
29
how is strontium carbonate converted to strontium oxide
heat
30
what colour does cyclohexane change in chlorine
orange
31
chlorine reaction with hot concentrated naoh
3Cl2 + 6NaOH —> NaClO3 + 5NaCl + 3H2O
32
sodium chlorate vii formula
NaClO4
33
why does magnesium have greater bp than sodium
- mg ions have greater charge - mg has more outer electrons - mg has greater attraction between ions and electrons
34
what is periodicity
repeating trend of properties across periods
35
why is experimental enthalpy change different to data book
- non standard conditions - heat loss to surroundings - incomplete combustion
36
what is average bond enthalpy
-average enthalpy change when 1 mol of gaseous covalent bonds is broken
